I have no context for what stardew valley is like (haven't played or watched anyone play it).
I do know the SNES harvest moon though. That's a fun, quirky, weird spin on what, superficially seems to be a JRPG, but really, isn't.
I was quite disappointed by several later installments though, (one for the gameboy, and one for the gamecube)
My biggest complaint with the first one was perhaps that I got married and my 'wife' basically had an instant and sudden shift in both appearance and personality.
(in short, she turned from weird quirky inventor girl into generic farmer's wife - while the game did vaguely acknowledge her background by the fact she creates several inventions to help you, it still felt really weird.)
Of course, the gameboy game took out all story elements in favour of just farming, while the gamecube one just put me off with it's presentation...
Stardew valley though? I guess it could be good, if it leans more towards the kind of game the original Harvest Moon represented...
